Just started 'Longmire' on Netflix. My faves are Seinfeld, Frazier, Andy Griffith, and King of Queens (mostly because my wife likes that show). Also close to finishing up Twin Peaks (the first two seasons). Honestly, I don't watch a lot of TV; I do like documentaries, though.

I love all those. Haven't seen Longmire. Let me know if it's any good.

As ridiculously over the top as it is, it's nevertheless quite entertaining. Good character development that keeps me engaged. But good grief, we get it already: in the 50's and 60's women were basically slaves to misogynistic men. This show would have been really good if they would have at least tried to approach the subject with some subtlety.

Bouncing between Game of Thrones, Dark Matter, Killjoys and Midnight, Texas. Good times.

Now that I have a little more time, a few gleaming diamonds in the platinum diadem that was this episode:

*The whole "Jackrabbit's Palace" episode, start to finish.*The fact that it was Andy who came through as the leader there.*The fact that his new understanding was conveyed via action, not exposition.*The fact that the blind girl is now in our realm.*The Las Vegas FBI chief blacking out on his subordinate (as in RobS' gif).*We know more about Blue Rose than we ever have before; perhaps as close to a complete understanding as we're likely to get.*The crooked cop gets his comeuppance.*James works security at the Great Northern.*He seems to have found the source of the humming (so much for my Josie in the wood theory. Or is it?).*The Fireman loves us.*The British dude's story...and his Beatles reference.*Sarah. That's all I can say. I'm too overwhelmed to say anything else about who and what she is.*The fact that Lynch chose NOT to end on that high note, but takes us back to the bar for more mystery and exposition about Billy via more new characters, and a sub-par musical performance at the Roadhouse. The stones on this guy. I love it.

Have to love Lynch's continuing obsession with his favorite movie, Wizard of Oz. GARLAND Briggs anyone?

Andy is Scarecrow

*We know more about Blue Rose than we ever have before; perhaps as close to a complete understanding as we're likely to get.

It's about the dopplegangers!

Quote

*The crooked cop gets his comeuppance.

Nobody likes Chads anyway. And the fact he was tormented by monkey noises makes it all the better.

Quote

*James works security at the Great Northern.

James was always cool.

Quote

*He seems to have found the source of the humming (so much for my Josie in the wood theory. Or is it?).

WHAT'S BEHIND THAT DOOR!

Quote

*The British dude's story...and his Beatles reference.

Either he arm wrestles Mr. C or he punches him right in the face...

Quote

*Sarah. That's all I can say. I'm too overwhelmed to say anything else about who and what she is.

Mother...Experimental model...Laura is the daughter...There's a scene in S2 that makes a lot of sense now.

What? That was one of the best musical performances of the series!

Yes! Sarah's always been permeable to the influence of the Lodge entities. The "traditional" interpretation before the new season began was that Windom Earle was the one using her here. Now, with "The Experiment"...or something else being inside of her, who knows? The question is, was she always a vessel for this stuff to the degree that she is now and kept it under wraps? Is she the girl who swallowed the locust-frog? Or, was she just susceptible to this stuff, and the misery of what Leland did to Laura pushed her deeper than ever?

Watched the first 2 episodes and it is hilarious. It is a deadpan spoof with the premise that is that "found footage" of a 1980's Romanian communist crime drama propaganda TV show. Filmed in Romanian and dubbed into English which only adds to the hilarity.

This was a lot of fun. I thought the finale was a bit lackluster and the change in tone too drastic, but overall I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to a second season.

He's everywhere now. Even the ends of the earth (Finland) and the depths of hell (Pittsburgh newspapers)

Cute. So you think Judy is a codename for Garland Briggs then? Might be. We saw a monkey speak Judy's name and then saw Garland speak the words "blue rose" in a later similar scene. Sometimes I think she might be Naido though. Probably not.

Better pacing than the first seasonToo many toilet/body fluid gagsToo much fan service and recycled material (there were like a dozen callbacks to the original movie trilogy in the first episode)They did subvert expectations here and there, kinda... you could see the swerve coming, but the jokes still landedAs for the one-liners, only half of them workedWatching Bruce Campbell get beat up will never not be funnyBroke the fourth wall in an acceptable wayStill good music and good enough actionDecent enough (intentionally schlocky) practical special effects; cgi was ok as well, I think, probablyStory/themes are still good enough to justify watching more (if you care about the franchise to begin with)

I just finished watching "Mercy Street Season 2": The story takes place in Alexandria, Virginia during the American Civil War but I think was fimed in Charlottesville. It makes all the news about the events in Charlotesville the last few days seem so understandable.

Longmire is entertaining - I like the characters - you root for the hero and he doesn't disappoint.

A lot of it is themed in Northeastern New Mexico (Same territory as No County For Old Men) even though the story is set in Wyoming (some of that country looks similar but also quite different than New Mexico). I used to live "near" there so really like seeing that part of the country.
